ACCREDITATIONS
Independently certified.
Audited every year.
Our accreditations are not badges we award ourselves. Each one is held with an independent certification body that audits our procedures, our records and our work on site, and can withdraw it if we fall short. Here is what each accreditation covers, and what it means for you and your buildings.
Why third-party certification matters.
Any contractor can say they work to British Standards. Third-party certification means an independent, UKAS-accredited body checks that we do, through office audits, competence checks and visits to sites we have worked on.
What it means for you
Evidence you can rely on. Certificates of compliance carry the certification body’s authority, which supports your fire risk assessment, satisfies insurers and stands up to scrutiny from building safety managers, regulators and auditors. It also saves you vetting our competence yourself, because the scheme has already done it.
What it means for us
A standard we are held to. Annual surveillance audits keep our procedures, training records and quality checks current, so the quality of work does not depend on which engineer attends. Certification also lets us deliver framework and public-sector contracts that only accept certificated contractors.
Fire safety certification.
We hold BAFE certification across five schemes, covering every core system we design, install and maintain, together with IFC certification for smoke control and NICEIC approval for electrical work.

Kept current, not just achieved.
Certification bodies audit us every year. SSAIB audits our BAFE schemes, and IFC carries out annual surveillance of our quality system with random site audits on top. In between, Mango QMS tracks every company certificate and every engineer’s qualifications, alerts us before anything expires, and stops an engineer being assigned to work they are not currently qualified for.
Engineer competence is built on FIA, manufacturer and City & Guilds electrical training, and is checked by our Technical Manager through supervised assessments, technical reviews and site audits.
Check our registrations.
Each accreditation can be verified on the certification body’s public register. Copies of current certificates are available on request for tenders and pre-qualification.
Need our certificates for a tender or PQQ?
We can send current copies of every certificate on this page, together with our insurance details and policies. Tell us what you need and we will get it to you.
